  3. Antitrust Admonition / Roll Call Antitrust Admonition ERCOT strictly prohibits Market Participants and their employees who are participating in ERCOT activities from using their participation in ERCOT activities as a forum for engaging in practices or communications that violate the antitrust laws. The ERCOT Board has approved guidelines for members of ERCOT Committees, Subcommittees and Working Groups to be reviewed and followed by each Market Participant attending ERCOT meetings. If you have not received a copy of these Guidelines, copies are available at the Client Relations desk. Please remember your ongoing obligation to comply with all applicable laws, including the antitrust laws. Roll Call • Participants on site, fill in the sign-up sheet • Participants on the WebEx, please send via email to mponline@ercot.com the following information: • Name • Company / Company Type (RE, TSP, etc.) • Role (as it applies to the RARF (e.g. I submit, contribute to it, use data from it)) RDWG - Workshop

  4. Workshop Objectives • Today’s Workshop Objectives • Describe Objectives and Scope • Share feedback received to-date • Elicit market requirements • Discuss next steps • Ground Rules • Phone lines will be left unmuted (unless there is excessive noise) • We ask that phone participants use their own mute button when not speaking • To avoid talking over each other, please use the Raise Hand function in WebEx • We will also be monitoring the WebEx chat pane; questions can also be submitted this way, as well RDWG - Workshop

  5. Objectives and Scope RDWG - Workshop

  6. Objectives and Scope • This phase will focus on the replacement of the RARF spreadsheet • In Scope: • Creation of a new application or extension of an existing application that will replace the RARF spreadsheet used to enter, modify and view resource asset registration data • Classification of all data, defining system of record, consumers, business owners and usage • Modification of business processes related to resource asset registration to support new interface / application (e.g. elimination of manual processes) • Porting of existing business rules and validations to new interface / application • Porting data currently within the RARF and RARF_Hub to new application where necessary (no re-entry of registration data by the Market) • Porting integration of consumer systems to new interface / application • Training of Market Participant Users • Training of ERCOT personnel • Decommissioning of the RARF_Hub RDWG - Workshop

  7. Objectives and Scope • Out of Scope • Market Participant Registration • Verifiable Costs • NDCRC * Note that there is a related project which will focus on upgrading NMMS (IMM & PTC) that will run in parallel with this project RDWG - Workshop

  9. Market Participant Input • Validation of data entry should be immediate wherever possible. Invalid data types or formatting should not be allowed. Errors should specify: required fields left blank, data type or formatting incorrect, data outside of acceptable range, rules not met (ex. Unit Start Date should be >= Site Start Date) • Authorized users must be able to view resource asset registration data as of a specific date: • Data that is currently in use within the network data model and ERCOT systems. • Pending changes. • Past changes. RDWG - Workshop

  10. Market Participant Input (continued) • Authorized users must be able to view the status of change requests. • Must be able to search and filter resource asset registration data. • Access to data must be based on user role and authorization. • Would like notification to resource owner, operator, and submitter of the date and content that a: change is submitted, additional information is required, change is approved, change is implemented. • Notification may be provided within the system interface or via email or both. RDWG - Workshop

  11. Market Participant Input (continued) • Must be able to export data in an open, standardized format • Must be able to save work in progress without submitting. Must have ability to resume saved work to complete & submit or discard at a later time. • Existing data will be available in the new system (will not require re-submitting ) • A change to the data content (the data required or its format) will not require all REs to re-submit all data. Only changed content should have to be addressed. RDWG - Workshop

  12. Requirements Workshop: Objective Objective: Collect and discuss needs and wants for the new system & process that replaces the RARF spreadsheet • I need the system to _______________ because _______________ • I would like the system to _______________ because _______________ RDWG - Workshop

  15. Prioritization • Now that we have a start on Market feedback/ requirements, the next step is prioritization • ERCOT will compile everything we’ve gathered today into a consolidated list and post to the meeting webpage • Between now and the Thanksgiving holiday, we ask that MPs review the requirements list and send ERCOT their priorities (one list per MP) • Priorities should be listed as 1 thru # (no duplicate #1,2,3,4, etc.) • Can prioritize all requirements or just a subset • MPs should also indicate if there are any requirements they would like to see eliminated RDWG - Workshop

  16. Next Steps • Next Steps (ERCOT Recommendation) • Meet again in early December to continue going through the remaining requirements (if needed) • If there are additional requirements, work those into the prioritized list • Finalized Market requirements will be reviewed at the January 2014 RDWG meeting • Note that ERCOT will be generating internal requirements in parallel, following the same timeline Meeting Title (optional)
